Zodiac Mindwarp were created in 1986 by author/poet Mark Manning. His
mission to travel the world for free, drink loads of (free) booze and meet
loads of women. Oh, and play some blistering rock and roll.
Now recognised as the creaters of sleaze rock, and a major influence on
many of todays bands. the band went on to tour with Motorhead, Guns and Roses and Iron Maiden.
At their peak in 1988, Alice Cooper borrowed a cast off song (Feed my Frakenstein) from their second album and turned it into a worldwide hit. It is still a part of Alices current stage show. AND, their dress style changed the face of modern rock music. At a time when big hair and spandex were considered acceptable, the filthy worn denims, scuffed leathers and prolific tattoos created a major stir. They looked more like a bike club than a rock band. You see their influence in every rock band performing today.

The band have recorded several albums, starting with High Priest of Love
in 1986. Tattooed Beat Messiah followed in 1987, with several hit singles.
Prime Mover their biggest hit came from there. Their follow up album "
Hoodlum Thunder" was released to critical acclaim in 1991, but failed to
receive major backing from the record label. The band recorded a further 2 albums ( My Life Story & One More Knife) before retiring for a 10 year hiatus, as Manning turned his talents to writing several books.
In 1992 following a chance meeting in the street with co conspirator
and guitarist Cobalt Stargazer, the band resumed their careers with a new
Album " I am Rock". Today the Love Reaction consists of Zodiac Mindwarp on vocals, Cobalt Stargazer, guitar, Jack Shit, Bass and The Apocolypse on drums. They are currently in the process of recording a new album for release during spring 2009, as yet untitled. And the band have started to do selective gigs throughout Europe to debut the new material.
